So I have been missing in action lately, sorry its been a hectic couple of weeks, so many exciting colabs and projects coming up that I cant wait to share with you all.

This is my shoot with a fabulous boutique called Miishu, its in Port Melbourne and stocks so many of my favourite labels making it the place for me to go when I need a wardrobe update or need to spoil myself, which is regularly!
I have an ongoing love affair with prints of any type so when I saw this fabulous matching bomber and tee from aussie label Maurie and Eve I couldn't resist putting it together for my latest shoot .
Don't be afraid to wear tops and blazers with matching prints or even clashing your prints as I have done with my leopard heels. Just make sure you don't go overboard! Try and keep some part of the outfit simple as I have done with the one teaspoon baggies.

Over All

Wearing: Topshop Overalls/ Windsor Smith Lilly Sandals/ Karen Walker 'Helter Skelter' sunglasses


Overalls, Dungarees, whatever you want to call them, they are on my top 5 favorite list. These beauties are from Topshop and a little bit vintage/boho-ish which I really like. There are heaps of denim variations out at the moment, but these pretty alternatives just caught my eye. Hope you all like them

You are a Friend Of Mine

Wearing; Jet by John Eshaya White Thow over/ Friend of Mine Leather Dress/ Sporstgirl Motocycle Boots/ Ray Ban Aviators


Yep, still on the black and white bandwagon, i've added leather though this time! Effortless, chic and very in season. There are so many ways you can wear leather and so many leather styles at the moment. My heart skipped beat when I saw this buttery soft Friend of Mine dress. I am going to wear this right through winter layering it with shirts (worn underneath with tights) and dressing it up with heels and a man style overcoat.
Make sure you check out the massive sale they have going on at the moment, you will not be disappointed!

Wearing: Topshop Black Tee/ Bonds Chunky Knit/ Helloparry Moment Wrap Skirt/ Wittner Bayard Heels/ Karen Walker 'Helter Skelter' Sunglasses




Yes, you are seeing me in another black and white ensemble....I cannot get enough, which I guess is not a bad thing as its so in season right now.
This was a rare sunny Melbourne day so I took the opportunity to get the pins out and shoot this amazing skirt from Hello Parry. Im not sure that any future posts going forward will have my legs out, its getting ridiculously cold here. I might be slightly exaggerating but I swear its the coldest its ever been!

Also have you noticed i'm not wearing my trusty Ray Ban Aviators! Yay, I have finally found something different in These Karen Walker beauties, very proud of myself   :)

September Schofield of Davis, California

September bought her wedding dress online, but when she looked at her dress close she realized the dress was not made right and all the seams were coming apart.
I took the whole dress apart carefully and put it together correctly.

Busting out the Black and White

Wearing: Topshop Black Tee/ Junk Clothing Bustier/ ASOS Vintage Brady BF Jeans/ Wittner Bayard Heels/ Ray Ban Aviators



A simple colour palette goes so far in any ones wardrobe, and when I mean simple I mean blacks, whites, greys, denim etc. Its safe to say that any one of these colours/fabrics will go with just about anything you already have. Melbourne is definitely a mix of greys, whites and so much black, that in winter it is quite interesting to see how we coordinate our fashion wardrobes with each new winter season. Another talent that we have is layering, I don't think any other state in Oz knows how to layer as well as we do, hiding multiple layers and making it look more chic than snowman-like 
I have got to say I am loving the bustier over tees and long sleeved tops, the kind of  "Ive tried to look casual, but im definitely put together" look.
Anyway its something to think about and give it a go, experimenting :)

ASOS State Of Fashion

Wearing: Witchery Knit/ ASOS Leather Skirt/ 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Bag /Ray Ban Aviators /Wittner Bayard Heels

Winter in Melbourne! It’s got to be my least favorite time of the year but it does have its plus sides to it. Melbourne is cold during winter, there is no way around it, whether  your outside or inside its cold and it feels like you are never, ever going to see a warm sunny day….ever! (lol slight exaggeration)

There are plus sides that I can see to a Melbourne winter and that is definitely winter fashion. If you asked me to sum up what Melbourne fashion is all about in winter, I would have to say lots of black, leather, and layering is the key. ASOS have put together a great event called ‘State of Fashion’ and as one of its bloggers, the above look is my take on Melbourne winter fashion. ASOS now want you to take part in this style challenge and style yourself in your winter look and represent your state, the lucky winner will receive a $1000 dollar ASOS wardrobe and ultimate ‘state cred’ as the best dressed .

I know my fellow Melbournians’ know that we truly are the style capital of Australia and I am hoping one of us takes the crown!

                                                                           Goodluck  ;)

Acid & All That

 

Zara Baroque Jumper/ Junk Clothing Denim Dress/ Topshop Wedge Hi Tops/ Ray Ban Aviators

Hi there, remember me..... life has been hectic and I havent posted anything lately.....so I have got to say a BIG sorry :(  I will be posting more often now and I have a few shoots coming up which I cant wait for you to see and get inspired.

Demin is one of those staple items that can be worn in any season and at any time and at the moment 90's grunge is having a massive revival. This Junk Clothing acid wash denim dress is a perfect fit for this 90's grunge vibe, I literally have thrown on a black knit and some hi tops and have got my 90's look. 

You can wear this dress with anything, next I will style it with a pair of opaque black stockings, my Dc Marten boots and an oversize chunky black cardigan. Lookout for the pics up soon on the blog.

Jen's dress was simple, but elegant. I didn't need to add anything to the dress. The bride was beautiful too.

Wittner Leopard Heels

 Wearing: Topshop Top/ JET By John Eshaya Jeans/ Adorn By Sarah Lewis Lariat Necklace



Back in black, can't keep me away from it, so much so, majority of my wardrobe consists of this colour and leopard, of course! I cant really say im the bright, colourful type of woman! I much prefer dark hues whether that be jeans, tops, jumpers or jackets. These JET jeans pictured are seriously one of my favourte pieces in my wardrobe, they feel like leggings and are so comfy, the added bonus are the rips and distressed holes. You can find these exact pair on the Lysana website, Perfect for the months ahead  battling the Melbourne Winter.

Twice As Nice

Sportsgirl Hooded Gillet/Alexander Wang Tee/Bassike Slouch Pants/ASOS Floral Heels/Cotton On Baseball Cap

(L-R) Dallas & Carlos L Cuff (Miishu boutique)/Jolie and Dean Fine Rings/Michael Kors Watch/Bvlgari Ceramic Ring/ Globe Longboard

At the Moment I feel like I am seeing so many sleveless jackets everywhere. I love them just quietly. Josh Goot released his 'Deep Sea' version as part of his Collection and I fell in love with it upon seeing it. I found this similar version at Sportsgirl and felt like I had hit the jackpot!
I love how the image is blurred through the colourful print and the added hood makes it cosy and warm for the winter months ahead. Ive teamed it with my Bassike slouch pants which are so comfy, I feel like I am going to wear these to death this winter. I love the dropped crutch and relaxed feel of these pants and for me its versatility speaks for itself!
